JuopunutBear S-OFF Public Beta

JuopunutBear is the first release from team Unlimited.IO. It is a tool for gaining (radio) S-OFF and flashing a custom bootloader that supports full write/erase fastboot commands on a number of HTC phones.

JuopunutBear does not provide root access, however with S-OFF this is a simple process of flashing superuser from recovery.

JuopunutBear comes with NO WARRANTY (express or implied), and NO GUARANTEE OF FITNESS for any particular task. We have made every effort we can to make this a safe process for users however the authors disclaim any liability for damage to your phone or other materials or devices used during this process. The entire risk of running JuopunutBear lies with you, the user. By downloading and/or using any software, video file or text from this website you acknowledge and accept that the authors are not liable for any loss, material or otherwise howsoever caused.

JuopunutBear currently supports the following Android phones running GingerBread and Ice Cream Sandwich:

Read all of the instructions on this page AT LEAST once through - gathering your supplies, downloads, and opening the image for the wire trick - BEFORE following the directions step-by-step. Failure to do so may cause problems.

Step 1 | Pre-requisites:

Supported Operating Systems:

We only support Ubuntu 12.04 (and newer) 32bit, you may use a LiveCD if you have the wrong OS installed natively. LiveUSB will NOT work!

Ubuntu 64bit, Ubuntu versions lower than 12.04, other Linux distros, Virtual Machines and Mac's will NOT work - we will not help you if you break your device!

Be on the Stock RUU. No other ROMs are supported, Fresh ROM will not work regardless of what you have read elsewhere.

Ensure that your battery is fully charged.

External SD card (2GB - 16GB) in your device.

The original HTC USB cable for your device.

Perform a full backup or replace your SDcard with one that you are willing to wipe - it is possible that during these steps all data may be lost.

You must be directly connected to a USB 2.0 port on your computer - USB 3.0 and USB hubs will NOT work!

Step 2 | ControlBear:

Verify - You are on Stock RUU (not FreshROM, Stock Rooted, HarmonyROM - none of these will work!)

Support

Sensation, Evo3D and MT4GS:

While it is possible to gain S-OFF on using any current version of android on the HTC Sensation Evo3D and MT4GS, we encourage you to use the revolutionary tool if your device is on a supported HBOOT. The revolutionary tool is a simpler process for the end user than JuopunutBear.
